it's the heart of the e.u. where protesters are taking their. step by step activists from the fifteen m. movement hope to make europe a better place the point of it is to inform people that might not be informed. about things that they can do in their local government to find out what problems they're having in their local government in their in their in their small towns. to help them come come up with solutions we have reunions every evening we get to the to a village we meet with the locals and they tell us what's going on in their town. the organization was born from the protest marches in spain where more than twenty percent are jobless and youth unemployment is painfully over forty percent the highest in europe it's these numbers that drove thousands on to madrid streets in may now the financial foot soldiers are beating a path to brussels and some other countries their problems are.

even bigger. because. it is going to leave. overall the whole chain. all together change that to change the fix. we march like a symbol for everybody to join us rachel is one of many non stannis europeans with whom the fifteen m. message present needed knowing that if there is one thing europeans do agree on it's who to blame dodgy politicians promising rescue but delivering recession there's a lot of corruption there's a lot of injustice people want to change that people also in other countries are happy with it. in general the way the world is run with a lot of money in the hands of a few of the banking system. and the corruption of. your

little system and your. people power works if it's loud enough people are realizing that we do have the power to change things in the certain way and basically we just have to get on the streets and make our voices heard so the idea is to go to where the. kind of well the central european parliament and all the things of the muscles . and particularly to basically protest that we're not having our human rights respected in the place where the side it will take them two months to march this fifteen hundred plus kilometers to reach brussels where the last thing on their mind will be putting their feet up greece portugal spain people losing their jobs and their homes and while the politicians in these countries insist the situation could get better called one people believe current economic policies of the euro zone lead down the road to nowhere in a golf cart see spain. across the world's largest economy has been

pulled back from the brink of default by an eleventh hour compromise but the former chief of russia's central bank warns the excessive borrowing and political squabbles could still push the u.s. past the point of no return. everything i want living on credit is always difficult as the time may come sooner or later when it will have to be paid off like now nobody wants to remember that it was in the early nineties when bush and the republicans came to power that the us external states not yet obtained by issuing treasury bonds with different terms anything from one week to twenty years and interest rates grew massively like now it has been increased still further so generally it all happened on the republican rule to a large extent the debt was formed under the bush presidency the war in iraq and their role in the afghanistan conflict with were huge military expenses in my question is there no no it's just political gain nothing more there is certainly

a responsibility. the famous american economy as a thirteen years ago to this image that the us economy considering its domestic and foreign economic policy is down to face a crash like the roman empire. and you can watch the full interview with the former chief of russia's central bank and i just want to start right here at. the u.n. security council has a condemned the escalating violence in syria and demanded an end to bloodshed and is calling for internal political power comes amid reports the syrian opposition stronghold of hama has been overrun by government forces with witnesses saying there have been casualties. as following events for us at the u.n. in new york. all members of the security council adopted the presidential statement which first and foremost calls for an immediate end to all violence and urges both

sides of the violence and conflict to strain immediately the security council presidential statement also condemns widespread violations of human rights and the use of force against civilians by the syrian authority it calls on the syrian authorities to fully respect human rights and to comply with international law the u.n. security council of course is issuing this presidential statement following more than four and a half months of violence in syria that is when anti-government protesters first took to the streets back in mid march to call for the resignation of the syrian president now as a result of this presidential statement russia's position has been and continues to be that there should not be any overextension of pressure put on the syrian government such as sanctions and the council also believe that it was better to put a statement out rather than a resolution russia has and continues to believe that this issue should be resolved

in the form of dialogue trying to get both parties to come together and speak rather than taking sides one way or another russian ambassador to the united nations vitaly churkin said that the security council is still working under the shadow of events surrounding libya after the security council adopted a resolution allowing for a no fly zone the u.s. and european countries started what is now a military intervention russia china and many other council members believe that the text of this resolution was taken advantage of manipulated misinterpreted and that is that when event that russia china brazil india many other countries do not want to see a repetition of so this is why the security council. it is acting the way in which it is trying to come to a peaceful solution try to send an international message and of course it will

continue the security council to keep its eyes on the events taking place in syria . reporting from new york well the syrian president has issued a law allowing for a multi party government system that appears to allow the formation of political factions other than the ruling baath party for this time are joined by jonathan your cloud from oxford and thank you for joining us today with a quite likely to take president assad so long to come up with this reform do you think and you know what i think so i can. i have not reached it he was very much afraid it's a reform but what's what's i think first of all there's been almost the opposition . also i think the international situation and the fact is that syria has been under pressure by the u.s. and its allies with many many years and i think that one of the worries of presidents i've had is that introducing democratic reforms would actually be exploited by an attempt to get government buy back in a position argue that centrist or being in the western line on syria has been very

counterproductive as you're saying that the pressure from the west is not helping if indeed the syrian leader is ready for change but frog's has called the announcement of a multi party government system in syria quote a prophet cation why do you think the western powers are so scared to call here i think actually in france is quite extraordinary i mean let's say it was supposed president assad said today you know and then he reforms he's going to carry on as he needs or. three people then you know what it will be just shows you that they can actually run the western action and we've got star wars things are going on in bahrain where protesters have been shot i don't hear us or britain or france calling resolutions on our aim as you see here really what this is all about is the west trying to ruin the. in syria now we do know we do know that during the pre intervention in libya there were arab rebels who were calling for nato to get involved we haven't quite seen this with syria but it does seem the u.n.

even somewhat poised to get involved here do you think it could get its boots on the ground or it could bring in what it called a humanitarian mission with libya or do some sort of intervention in syria i think any kind of intervention of the un or nato could be absolute disaster must be resisted who cause we've seen what's happening in libya it was supposed to be about a good humanitarian catastrophe over a thousand people since you can start it's only rates going on since march it hasn't situation it's worst humanitarian situation. we saw about humanitarian intervention the balkans in the ninety's again people were killed so the last thing we want is to see western powers take action in libya and let's hope that russia and china will be able to prevent this from happening oh i say we don't want western powers getting involved in syria but do you believe a crisis that can be solved through internal political dialogue it's the only way we're only way that this can be resolved is if there is critical and we got in syria opposition groups president assad stay. i want to see more democratic syria

where you could really put the western policies on. this is a problem that syrians have to so it will be else it's not up for a couple of british couple u.s. government anybody else trying to it's appearance at a serious problems right now as we're discussing earlier the west at the moment is rolling out military interference on syria the french foreign minister when i was not ruled out the u.n. issuing a stronger statement or a resolution against the syrian government if the crisis unfolds or what will that do i think would only make things worse i mean i think we're going to be pressing aspects of international terrorism us in the last three years has been when france has gone from being a response to quite peacefully with the international community into the sort of. seems to be influenced by neo cons and it was very hawkish and they're taking a very good. syria i think i mean who would have been speaking of this one i think what we want is the western powers to. let syrians themselves all right.

palestinian mother doesn't attract much attention when she walks down the street but she's walked a long and difficult path from would be suicide bomber to peace maker it wasn't so long ago that she for all could see was planning to strap explosives to her body and blow herself up in an israeli supermarket. i called fighters and told them i needed all the equipment but they just laughed and said you're joking i said if you don't give it to me and how much will they said figure about it for a month and then they called me from of later and said ok everything is ready for you. it was the second intifada or palestinian uprising and already two of chivas teenage cousins had been killed by israeli soldiers while her brother was serving eighteen years in prison for his part in a suicide mission well i am a mother and i love my live but i wanted to do it because the israelis destroyed our estate is i want to destroy their arrogance female suicide bombing is

relatively new in the palestinian world wafa idris a twenty eight year old divorced paramedic from ramallah became the first woman to blow herself up in jerusalem in two thousand and two ten more women have since followed in a footsteps one of them when they're going into it's always side in. restaurant she saw her fiance being killed in front of their eyes so she was really pushed to their point that she want to talk to end her life experts agree that the reasons that drive a woman to become a suicide bomber are complex his anger and bitterness towards the israeli occupation forces is also the patriarchal nature of palestinian society according to you and that book is written several books on the subject here woman suspected of sleeping with a man before marriage can be thrown out or even killed by the families and yours it doesn't have to be true that's where society they kill this is the way to

get rid of women. and poor let them serve a problem with their dignity and honor and without their families but the irony is that while these women are held by some as martyrs many religious leaders are reluctant to send their daughters to the front line as bombers and although islam condemn suicide explain shaikh mohammed it's acceptable when fighting colonise ation and occupation is there are some groups or governments. can't do. it or is it we are. we have to prove fight against these patients chief says her reasons were both political and personal she was fed up with the bombs falling around her and ashamed that after just two years of marriage the husband had run off with another woman and i felt simply become too much the plan was simple she thought was going to tend to be pregnant and hide this with me for hours of explosives and give me

a maternity dress she was going to come here to natalia and israeli town not far from the home and blow herself up among israelis suicide bombing the kind of attack that doesn't get it when. there is no excuse absolutely no excuse at all but her plan was foiled by a palestinian informant who tipped off the israeli army chief or was sentenced and spent six years behind bars now back at home she says she regrets it and devotes her time to telling her story to both israelis and palestinians in the hope that both sides can come to greater understanding of the of the years later my daughter asked me who i was going to leave her with and i said with a groan why i didn't understand the time how much she and my parents would have suffered then i understand now i know that blowing myself up wouldn't have changed anything the only way to peace is for israelis and palestinians to work together rock a strong message from a rather surprising source policy r.t.

this week. a regional afghanistan intelligence chief has been assassinated in a northern. province by a bomb blast it's the latest in a string of killings targeting top officials in the past month alone president karzai brother and one of his top aides were killed by insurgents the taliban is stepping up its of sorts as the u.s. led coalition began to have drawing combat troops. but i try not to take you want to rush as far flung corners where indigenous people enjoyed life in the wild. we're in a rush there's a far east and the are more regional it's a place of breathtaking natural beauty or inspiring wilderness meets the long held traditions of and i think you people the area is also great and natural resources

namely that of gold sort of industrialisation it's getting harder for locals to preserve their culture as ours had reports. this week the rush to close up teen welcomes you to the far east and a more region located some eight thousand kilometers east of moscow a little under nine hundred thousand people are spread across this vast peaceful region the majority of whom are ethnic russians but living alongside them is the ancient i think people traditionally hunter gather is used to living off the lands their way of life has changed dramatically for many over the years here in india more region as a russian place our team has been finding out it's. just. the way of life that stretches back generations here in russia's far east as think people have survived by living off the land but their numbers and culture are

fading. well out here in the midst of the amours tiger if you look hard enough you can still find evidence of the traditional hunter gatherer as being a lifestyle we were fortunate enough. to have a families that have been living out here for about a month now and today they're loading up their reindeer to move themselves on to another part of the. grass there are fewer and fewer places for them to go and the elders say they know we should mention. we are dying around and it's all because of the gold miners and the barbarians destroying the tiger which now can't even prove . just with enough food they've destroyed our home taken everything from us and offered nothing in return. whether a blessing or a can some who are is a region abundant in natural resources and with gold currently trading at an all time high the pressure to produce is greater than ever and few places no saving

here. russia is third largest gold miner founded in one thousand nine hundred forty joint russian british venture says it will increase production this year by thirty three percent to some seventeen tons so here we can see the very beginnings of the gold extraction place there several small holes are drilled which are then filled with explosives and then blasted and approximately thirty to forty thousand tons of rock will be broken up with each plant. it's a process that generates huge amounts of waste mining at this operation all with a grade of three grams for each ton of god of war well the tug of war is a million grams so out of that one million grams three of the particles of gold and we have to recover those three it's the proverbial needle in

a haystack an equation that just does not add up for those who see the tiger as their home others are more pragmatic an inevitable consequence of living in a lucrative landscape. my goodness here are working more than one hundred heroes they all really need a lot of damage in this case use new technology it's new technology how to talk to the gold and how to store waste materials. and of those people was in this area and not all happy but i will say that most people say ok yes. it's and this gold mine will bring us more with her before emperor's life stumbles meaning more job sounds cultural speech you know unschooling programs all funded by the mining bus it's the price of her spare a seat that could spell i'm told environmental damage and see centuries of every

tradition proven to extinction of. palisade base r.c. illusion. just a few minutes here on our team talk to the former chief of russia's central bank about the origins of the crisis plaguing the u.s. and. its news with imagery. and warm welcome to the business on r.t. russia is extending its most ambitious privatization programs to some one nine hundred ninety s. the government aims to fully celt fourteen major state companies by twenty seventeen but it will keep a golden share in six on the list including russia as well major was snapped in to rout with a large energy producer bt burn crosses second largest land and this will give the state the ability to outvote the shareholders if needed and other companies which will be solved completely. because there are new producer international plots and

hydroelectric power company hydro the new privatization plan could rush over two hundred billion dollars by twenty seven so you know analysts say it's not the cash but the new management skills and technology which are of great strength. i think it's certainly welcome news because for different it's a meaningful privatization meaning the not just minority shares as before however to goods business environment he would really need to carry out structural reforms such as strength and judiciary shareholders right and so forth and these things have to have kept you had it's a good opportunity to take the load of and also of course when it comes to strategically important companies such as the energy companies that we're talking about it's absolutely necessary to bring the new technologies and new management

style. gold continues its march into record territory inverses are worried about the health of the global economy some analysts expect prices to breach seventeen hundred dollars per ounce soon but campbell from the london capital group says there are a number of other precious metals that investors should keep an eye. gold doesn't actually very purpose other than glittering looking very nice. making jewelry and being a store of value because it doesn't have an industrial purpose unlike other precious metals such as silver so in that respect their own really any alternatives which is why you see gold. appreciated a great deal more in value than the other precious metals we know from an asset class point of view the other precious metals in particular the industrials a silver and platinum trade these are the perfectly viable stores

a value because not only is there high demand for them from an industrial point of view but also from the fact that they can act because some sort of an alternative to go. through to the markets now and we start with crude oil is trading near a five week low concerns of a slowdown in the u.s. account of course speculation that the federal reserve may start another stimulus program. european stock markets are preparing a stronger opening results trading lower this hour earlier they were up on the back of gains on wall street which goes to its first winning session in nine on wednesday footsies down point eight percent weighed by actually one point two percent way five point seven percent loss for the lloyds banking group on the back of poorly received results in march that is shedding twenty four percent after school warning. and here in russia the picture is pretty much the same on the
